This is the first time we have had so many players and the first time so many people have scored top whack! I am currently considering making the tie-break a semi-final for the top scorers - with a prize, followed by another tie break. But this could obviously cause a bit of chaos with it all happening on October 16th. This is due to the amount of entries this year. I'm not complaining by the way, I'm thrilled to bits that so many wanted to join in. I will put a proposal to the thread so those who are potential winners can decide and determine whether a semi-final is necessary. Don't worry though, I will try and make it as fair as possible.
I will keep you posted. I'm just annoyed that I clearly didn't make the questions hard enough!

This is our current leaders board this year. All on 40 points.

I was thinking that the semi-final would eliminate five from the final tie-break with the remaining four competing in the final tie-break to determine the first, second and third places. The six (five plus the one who lost out in the semi-final) who were eliminated would then be put into an additional draw to win a Radio Times Christmas Cover Fridge Magnet. What do you think?”

I daresay some whittling down via a semifinal would be OK for me. It would be a shame to have the final result come down to the mercy of, say, nine people on a timed question... Those things always make me a bit nervous, as I bet some people are naturally better at the high speed keyboard bashing than others!
Although I guess your semifinal would be timed too?
